"RNC's Shocking Interview Question: Was the 2020 Election Stolen?"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The New York Times
The Republican National Committee (R.N.C.) has been asking job applicants whether they believe the 2020 presidential election was stolen, reflecting Donald Trump's increased influence over the party. Most applicants responded by citing irregularities and changes due to the pandemic, despite no evidence of widespread fraud. This move comes as the R.N.C. elected new leaders handpicked by Trump, and amid concerns about making false election claims and the party's history of voter intimidation. President Biden's campaign criticized the R.N.C.'s interview question as demanding fealty to Trump's antidemocratic beliefs.
